Activists filed the initial complaint to put the brakes on the
factory, citing health and environmental concerns associated with
genetically-modified crops and their production. But Monsanto is
fighting back.

“We have filed a criminal complaint to
inform the prosecutor of certain irregularities in violation of
environmental law that have occurred in the heart of the Ministry of the
Environment which is involved with authorizations of projects,”
attorney Raúl Montenegro told Revolution News, according to GMWatch.org.

The
decision by the court is being celebrated by protestors in Malvinas
Argentina in the Cordoba Province, where they’ve blocked Monsanto
employees from working on the site for 113 days. They physically
prevented the ongoing construction while awaiting a decision by the
court.
